The system of daily removal of night soil by buckets, which is in forca throughout the Colony, relieves the sewers of prantically all solid matter and also precludes, to a great ex- lent, the existence of disenso germs in the sowers. and, if rigidly enforced, is, in my opin-baccident. ica, the most sanitary ne that can be adopted in a tropical clinato. During the past year the Sanitary Leard havsendeavoured to compel the use of impersious kard wood buckets with closely fitting lids by the night soil carriers, while the Inspectors of Nuisances and the Police sro coastautly un the watch to provent the emptying of these buckets into the pablic Heware; the result of the Board's efforts in the direction of improved utensils for the nonvey- ance of might sell was a brief strike on the part of the coolies, which fortugulely, haworer, did not result in any serious injury to the public beaith, but with a view to providing against the repetition of any soch disketrons occurrancs, the Board have recommended that the collection of night soil throughout the city of Victoris be-F placed in the hands of a responsible contractor, who shall guarantee that the work will bo one. ail out in the least offensics manner possible and in strict accordance with the by-laws in force at the tirae that the centruct is entored Tipon.

The water supply of the city of Victoria is derived from 1wo furge reservoirs, one at Taitom the present capacity of which is three hundred and fifty million gallons. but which will shortly be increased to four hundred million gallons. and the other at Pokfulam, which his a capacity of sixty-eight million gallous, and the reser- voirs, together with certain works which have ulready been commenced with a view to i. creasing the water supply of the city, are cul culated to yield a mamum daily supply of 3,200,000 gallons. The average daily consump tion of water per head in the city of Victoria within constant service, is 15 gallens, and the estimated supply therefore is ancient for population of 211,000 persons, whereas the present population of the city and harbour amounts to 180,000
British Kowloon derives its water supply from three walls sunk in the valleys to the north of the village of Yamati; the water is conveyed from the wells by cast iron pipes to a clear water tank at Yaumati, from which it is pamped to a service reservoir at an elevation of some 200 feet above sea level, nul from the reservoir a system of distributing mains soure the water to the villages of Yamati and Hung hom and to the mainly European district of Taip Tsa Tsui,
